recensies: These really are great little heli's Very durable and great to learn on. They have adjustable parts to make them fly better and when things do break they are easily replaced and the parts are cheap. You can fly them in a light breeze but not recommended until you have some skill. Great for chasing my dogs with! I put lights on one of mine, now I can easily fly it at night.

recensies: I also own the Nine Eagles Solo Pro 270A, the MJX F47, the Blade MSR, and the Xieda 9958. The Wltoys V911 is my favorite micro helicopter. The V911 is easily a better flier than either the MSR or the 9958 which are very similar and both slide around in turns. I can fly the V911 very hard indoors with much less crashing into the walls then most of my other micro helicopters. The V911 can be flown hard indoors while staying under control. Only the the Solo Pro 270A is a better flier than the V911 but the V911 costs less than half the price of the Solo Pro 270A. The V911 will wear out the tail motor after around 80 flights and the main motor will also wear out after maybe 120 flights. When the motors wear out I just buy another BNF and keep the old bird for parts. I like the V911 very much and have 4 flyable birds plus several old parts birds.

recensies: Available as a spare for those who already own the incredible 4 channel V911 helicopter package. Having flown Real Flight simulator variable pitch helicopters, this device is a far more enjoyable experience. Read somewhere that flying RC copters (with scale collective pitch rotors) was like balancing a BB on a balloon. They were dead on. Tipped beyond some point, they fall sideways out of the sky - destroyed. The Wiltoys use of a gyroscopic balance bar and simpler fixed pitch rotor solves this. Mastering the left-right reversal when the RC model faces you has to become second-nature. This tiny chopper lets you master that without destroying itself as you learn. Used indoors, it avoids the added effects of wind. Outdoors in mild wind it is a dream to fly in open space. Replacement parts (rotors & fly-bars) are very reasonably priced and reduce the stress of learning to fly. Every part is available in well thought out packages. If you are intent on learning RC, buy the V911 system (along with the larger V913). Use the 913 transmitter - it allows better control. Save the larger V913 chopper till you master the nearly indestructable V911. Recommend you buy a #00 Phillips driver. For future, more advanced repair, invest in a micro tip 20-25 watt soldering iron.

recensies: Not sure why but the copter I received does not like the extra length and weight of the 200mah batteries. It is very difficult to get forward pitch outside using those batts with the copter I received. I have messed with the servo arms and trim. Otherwise copter is great with the stock size batts.
